Andre Agassi, US tennis superstar - Image 1There's always been some cases of discrepancy between tennis players and the judges on whether a line call was properly made or not. A recent study from Sussex University explained how the science behind motion perception can shed some light behind this very competitive sport. You can find out the results of the study in our full article after the jump.

Big Bang - Image 1The question of how the universe came to be is a common one now, and the Big Bang theory does a good job of giving us clues on what actually happened. However, has anyone stopped to think what there was before the huge explosion of matter? Scientists have, and they say there could very well have been a twin universe to ours before this one came to be. Details in the full article.

NIST: aluminum atomic clock rivals Mercury Ion clock in accuracy - Image 1For the socialites, telling another the time just boils down to how much bling factor your watch flashes. But for the techie in some of us, it's not about the shimmer and pizazz - it's how pretty darned accurate your chronometer's counting the seconds passed. Researchers from the National Institute of Science and Technology have claimed they've got a pair of clocks using ions and optics, and they're both way up there in terms of accurate timekeeping.

Precision clock traps atoms in light to keep time - Image 1Until now, the most precise clock that existed is the official atomic clock of the National Institute of Standards and Technology that's accurate down to the second for 80 million years. Now a new clock is vying for its position: a clock that actually traps atoms and monitors their "ticking" to measure time. The clock is also accurate to the second, and will be for 200 million years. Details in the full article.
